Visual fixation patterns whilst viewing complex photographic scenes containing one person were studied in 24 high-functioning adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and 24 matched typically developing adolescents. Over two different scene presentation durations both groups spent a large, strikingly similar proportion of their viewing time fixating the person's face. However, time-course analyses revealed differences between groups in priorities of attention to the region of the face containing the eyes. It was also noted that although individuals with ASD were rapidly cued by the gaze direction of the person in the scene, this was not followed by an immediate increase in total fixation duration at the location of gaze, which was the case for typically developing individuals.
当观看包含一个人的复杂摄影场景时，研究了 24 名高功能自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）青少年和 24 名匹配的典型发育青少年的视觉固视模式。在两个不同的场景呈现持续时间内，两组都将大量的时间集中在注视这个人的面部。然而，时程分析揭示了两组在注意面部包含眼睛区域的优先级方面存在差异。还注意到，尽管 ASD 个体可以迅速被场景中人物的注视方向提示，但这并不会立即导致在注视位置的总注视持续时间增加，而对于典型发育的个体则是这种情况。
